Intricate Glasswork by Janis Miltenberger

Glass artist Janis Miltenberger has worked in several mediums including ceramics and sculpture.

Her latest series, “Doctrine of Signatures,” is based on a 17th century book by Jakob Boehme called The Signature of All Things which detailed the commonly-held belief that the outward appearance of a plant reflected its medicinal value.

this is, and i cannot stress this enough, the wildest configuration of the famous common thalloid liverwort species marchantia polymorpha (at least im like….85% sure that’s what it is) ive ever seen. the little weird umbrella-looking things are…..yes, indeed……The Sexy. there are male and female sex umbrellas, with each plant producing only one kind (you won’t find male and female organs on the same plant):

it looks like this one’s a female. girls’ night

Plant of the Day

Monday 15 April 2019

The sculptural flowers of Cornus disciflora (dogwood) were growing in the protection of the Temperate House at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, London. This slow-growing, vulnerable, cloud forest species comes from northern Mexico through Central America to Panama. This tree species is being felled for timber and the dry bark is used in traditional medicine as a stimulant and an astringent, causing cells to contract and speeding up the healing process. Suspended above these amazing flowers from the roof of the glasshouse was a chandelier by the glass artist Dale Chihuly.
